Took my southern Audi to these guys after doing research on the product, and at the advice of Selma at Balkan Motors. When I first went I got a nice tour of the facility, and got to watch the application being applied. Scheduled my appointment etc… Got my car back home, and checked everything out. They did a fantastic job, and I have full faith my southern Audi will continue to be rust free, so long as I keep up on the treatments. 5 stars guys! Reccomending to everyone I know, and to those I interact with business wise.

I've tried numerous rust prevention/undercoating products. I even used to sell Ziebart packages when I was in car sales. But, I get my truck undercoated from Krown every year. Every time my mechanic works on my truck he is blown away how everything underneath looks brand new. Now, he tells me that he recommends Krown to all of his other customers. My truck is just over 5 years old, has been through multiple salty NY winters and has no rust. I will continue to use Krown and won't look back! Also, they never hold your car hostage all day while they try to up-sell you other products (Ziebart... Ugh.).

This is my first visit but I was very impressed they were able to get me in quickly and offered a fair rate for their services as this is the first time I've used them it will take time to see how the rest proofing holds up but there are very accommodating and polite and able to answer all of my questions that I had about the process.. overall I was very impressed and hope to continue using their services going forward each year jack stand the life and quality of my vehicle. *Update 3/24/2022 Went back again this past winter due to being busy at work. I did not get my rust proof. I'm done until January but I was fortunate in the fact that we had a mild autumn. Just wanted to mention that because it's best to do this during the fall. Either way, I worked out well for me again. This year service I received was prompt and the customer service was once again excellent. I actually had to cancel my first appointment and reschedule it and they got me back in within a week as I mentioned in the first post. Obviously this is something that is going to take a long time to know the true benefits. But so far I have been nothing but happy with crown rust proofing, the product and the service here in Rochester. And a quick side note, I did once again go to the East Rochester location. However, they have opened a new location as well and Henrietta and if I had wanted I could have gotten back in the very next day after missing my appointment by going to Henrietta so they seem to have greatly increased their capacity which will certainly be a benefit next fall when it comes time to get done as that can be a busy time and hard to get an appointment.

Most manuals for Hybrids specifically state no rust proofing is to be applied. This is due to the fact that most rust proofing products are designed to leave a heavy coating. These coating type products can cover the sensors underneath and actually lead to safety risks for technicians working on the vehicle. Krown leaves only a light oily residue that is designed to displace moisture and slow the corrosion process. Krown has a dielectric strength of 40000 volts, meaning it is non-conductive and will not have any impact on the electrical system. We have been spraying hybrids for a long time and treat many of them on an annual basis. From a body structure perspective, they follow our standard application process.
Both new and used vehicles are susceptible to rust and our product works on both. Krown is absorbed into existing corrosion and pushes out any moisture, thus slowing any further corrosion down significantly.
To ensure that your vehicle is adequately protected, it is essential to have it treated every year. Especially these days when extremely aggressive road chemicals are in use for de-icing our roads, make sure you come in for a treatment every year.
Certain areas of the vehicle that are susceptible to rust can only be accessed by drilling small holes in key areas. These holes allow us to properly spray your vehicle with our tools. These holes are treated with a special wax compound in order to prevent rust, and then covered with an appropriate plug to leave a clean, professional finish.
We recommend giving the product a couple days to creep and move into harder to reach areas before washing the underside. We suggest avoiding hot water, degreasers, or high-pressure wash. These will over time reduce the life span of the effectiveness of the product. Ideally, cleaning the underside once or twice a year with Krown Salt Eliminator is our suggested best practice. This product is designed to work in conjunction with our rust inhibitor and will remove salt without negatively impacting the rust protection.
If your vehicle has never been protected, then the best time to spray it is right now. From a corrosion point of view, the corrosion process is most active in the spring and summer months due to the increase in temperature. However, an annual application of Krown, regardless of the time of year it is applied in, will provide 12 months of protection against corrosion.
The Krown product is sprayed around unpainted metal surfaces all throughout the vehicle, including inside body panels and hard to reach areas. As it contacts metals it lifts moisture off and out of seams. It then continues to repel moisture by creating a moisture resistant bond with the metal. No moisture means no rust!
Marks created by Krown that has dripped on asphalt will typically fade away after about 2 weeks. If the driveway is concrete or interlocking brick, your local Krown dealer can provide you with a Krown cleaning product that can remove the stains with very little effort.
Krown is designed to slow down or inhibit corrosion on vehicles. It is a petroleum based product with rust inhibitors containing no solvents. In fact the Krown product is environmentally safe, contains no toxins, is non-flammable, is non-reactive, is non-corrosive, can be sprayed in any weather, remains active, and is not WHMIS controlled.
The product must get into the seams and around spot welds to work effectively. It is moisture that causes corrosion, so an effective rust inhibitor needs to be thin enough to penetrate anywhere that water can. After the product has penetrated these areas, the excess product drips off. The majority of the dripping occurs within 24-48 hours with very little, if any, dripping after that point. Don't worry Krown is environmentally-friendly.
After your vehicle is sprayed with Krown at one of our locations, your vehicle receives a wash. We are cleaning the excess product off of the windows and painted surfaces where the product is not active. The rust inhibitor itself cannot be removed from the metal with soap and water.
